if you don’t know the definition of FUD you are sheep to DNC’s slaughter. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt One definition: Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) is a “tactic” of rhetoric used in sales, marketing, public relations[1][2] and politics. FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative (and vague) information. An individual firm, for example, might use FUD to invite unfavorable opinions and speculation about a competitor’s product; to increase the general estimation of switching costs among current customers; or to maintain leverage over a current business partner who could potentially become a rival.
The term originated to describe disinformation tactics in the computer hardware industry and has since been used more broadly.[3] FUD is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
BTW this whole bailout things is relying heavily on FUD.
Here is a start, for my list of the drive by Media’s FUD
1. Palin might make a mistake 2. She may be more conservative than she claims 3. She has no depth(no Harvard Yale connections, no connections to the Power Elites of our society)
And remember the allegation that our candidate is dumb is an old hackneyed canard. It is brought out every 4 years. Reagan=dumb Carter=brilliant(except for anti-semitic stuff) Quayle=dumb Gore=very intelligent Bush=dumb Gore=super smart Bush=dumb Kerry=Smartest man alive? Palin=dumb Biden=Unmatched intelligence(except for plagiarism, FDR and 1929 television opinion.

Last time I checked J-O-B-S had four, not three letters.
